Former president Jacob Zuma is addressing the media at his homestead in Nkandla on the day he was meant to go to jail following the finding against him that would see him spend up to 15 months in prison.
Earlier, he addressed his supporters.
The Constitutional Court (ConCourt) on Tuesday found Zuma guilty of contempt of court over his refusal to take the stand at the state capture commission despite a court order.
Justice Sisi Khampepe, the acting chief justice, delivered the unprecedented majority judgment, saying there could be no doubt Zuma was in contempt of court.
Zuma was ordered to report to the Nkandla or Johannesburg police stations within five days to start serving his prison sentence.
Additionally, the order granted police the power to arrest Zuma had he not turned himself in by Sunday.
